FUJIFILM X-S10
Fujifilm goes mainstream with a regular mode dial and IBIS
www.fujifilm.co.uk £949/$999
The Fujifilm X-S10 marks an interesting shift in Fujifilm’s camera range. Until now, its more advanced mirrorless cameras have all featured external shutter speed dials, plus (depending on the model) external lens aperture rings and ISO dials. Instead, the X-S10 reverts to a regular mode dial, as seen on countless competitors.
Fujifilm’s old-school approach to camera design and external exposure control has won it lots of fans, and is featured on the Fujifilm X-T4 flagship model, the rangefinder-style X-Pro3 and the super-compact X-T30. Fujifilm also makes more beginner-orientated models with conventional mode dials and exposure controls, namely the Fujifilm X-A7 and the X-T200.
With the Fujifilm X-S10 also having a conventional mode dial it might at first seem like a bridge between Fujifilm’s beginner cameras and its more advanced models. However, we’re told that this camera is instead positioned between the Fujifilm X-H1 and the X-T4; an advanced camera that’s aimed at a broader audience of users, who might previously have been put off by Fujifilm’s external exposure controls.
Key features
Apart from its physical design, the X-S10 has a lot of technology that will be familiar from other Fujifilm models. The significance is largely in how that technology been brought together, and the new camera’s price.
The sensor is, we presume, the same 26.1 megapixel X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor used in the Fujifilm X-T4. The quad-core X-Processor 4 processing engine appears to be the same, too.
